About our fireplace cleaning
A fireplace collects soot on its walls, ash in its corners and grime on its glass doors. On gas units, logs and burners build up residue that changes how the flame looks and burns. A cleaning gets it back to looking and working the way it should.
For wood fireplaces we clean the firebox walls and floor, the smoke shelf and the damper, and we check that the damper opens and seals. For gas fireplaces and inserts we clean the glass, logs and burner area and check the pilot assembly for dust and debris.

Fireplace Cleaning FAQs
Do gas fireplaces need cleaning?
Yes. Gas logs, burners and glass collect residue and dust. An annual cleaning and check keeps the flame clean and helps spot problems early.
Can you clean the glass on my fireplace doors?
Yes. We clean fireplace glass doors and gas fireplace glass as part of the service.
What does a yellow, sooty flame on gas logs mean?
It usually means the logs are out of position or the burner needs cleaning or adjustment. Turn the unit off and have it checked before using it again.
